What Imelda Marcos was to shoes, so Nathan Dale is to underwear – or at least that’s what it looks like at the start of this scene. Has anyone ever had such a tremendous collection of pants? Indeed, such is the young lad’s obsession with the said garment that he actually goes so far as to call the emergency services to come over and see the collection for themselves – which in ordinary terms would almost certainly be met with a police caution for time wasting! Putting realism to one side, however, on this particular occasion the officer who makes an appearance at Dale’s apartment is none other than Harry Vakker, who (it must be said) cuts quite a magnificent figure in police uniform.
